2.2 Method II: Stick the magnet on the bottom of boat by glue (see
illustration), make the the magnet on the transducer magnetize with
the one on the boat.
Note: Tightening the screws.
2 Mounting the transducer
2.1Method I:Remove the cover under the bait boat, put the
transducer into the hole and keep the bottom of transducer to face
outside (see illustration), fixing it by the screws.
Note: Make sure the magnet is kept to be horizontal with
bottom of boat when it is fixed.

4.1 Installing the batteries
-6-
When you first use the Fish Finder you will need to installing the
batteries. Slide the Battery Door, and insert 4 "AA" batteries to
the battery compartment.
Be certain to align the batteries as per the diagram within the
battery compartment.
Plug the antenna into the socket on the back of display tightly(see
illustration)
Plug into

Plug the power cable connector into the socket on the back of the
display tightly and another side to the battery compartment.

Plug one side of charger's cable
connector into the DC socket of
receiver, another side into the AC
power, the red indicator light and
charging is started. The indicator
turns green when power is full.
Warning!!! The chargers are different for transmitter and
receiver. Correct using must be requested according to the
instruction on the charger and this guide, otherwise the
damage will be caused!

2 WHAT YOU SEE ON SCREEN
Press and release POWER-MENU to power the unit on.
Press and hold POWER-MENU until the unit shuts down to power
off. When Unit powers on, the Start Up menu temporarily appears.
From this menu, select either Start-Up for on-the-water use, or
Simulation for learning to use the system with simulated sonar
data.
The Start-Up menu disappears after several seconds and the Unit
starts to work.

3 ACCESSING MENU FEATURES
NOTE: Continuous backlight operation significantly
decreases battery life on Unit Portables.
A easy to use menu system
accesses unit's adjustable
funtion.To activate the menu
system, press Menu Hot Button
directly to access main menus or
press POWER-MENU repeatly to
access all menus. When the
menu is on the display, use the
right and left keys to adjust the
menu. Menus automatically are
removed from the screen after
several seconds.
(Setting Saved in Memory)
When you press the LIGHT , the LIGHT menu temporarily appears.
Select either OFF or ON to activate the backlight at the desired
level.
(Setting Saved in Memory, 1 to 5)
When you press the SENSITIVITY , the SENSITIVITY menu
temporarily appears. Select a higher level to show smaller sonar
returns on-screen, or a lower level to remove clutter on the screen.

(Setting Saved in Memory)
When you press the ZOOM , the ZOOM menu temporarily appears.
Select ON to magnify the area around the bottom thus revealing
fish and structure close to the bottom that may not be visible in
typical operation.
In Zoom, the Unit continually changes the upper and lower Depth
Range to keep area just above and below the bottom on the
display.
Select OFF to return to normal operation.

(Setting Saved in Memory)
When you press the DEP.RANGE , the DEPTH RANGE menu
temporarily appears.
Select AUTO for the automatically setting Depth Range or manually
select 8,15, 30, 60 or 120 ft. This locks the depth range to a
specific setting.
NOTE: In manual operation, if the depth is greater than the
depth range setting,the bottom will not be visible on-screen.
Select AUTO to return to automatic operation.
Adjusting Sensitivity also affects
how sonar returns are identified
as Fish Icon Symbols - more fish
will be detected at a higher level
setting, fewer at a lower level
setting.

3.5 Fish Alarm
(Setting Saved in Memory, Defaults to OFF)
When you press the FISH ALARM , the FISH ALARM menu
temporarily appears. Select OFF for no fish alarm, or select the ON
to set the fish alarm and activate it.

The sonar's microcomputer is sophisticated, but it can be fooled.
It can't distinguish between fish and other suspended objects such
as trotlines, turtles, submerged floats, air bubbles, etc.
You may see fish symbols on the screen when actually, there are
no fish. The reverse is also true.
(Setting Saved in Memory)
When you press the FISH ICON , the FISH ICON menu temporarily
appears. Select either OFF to view “raw” sonar returns, or to
take advantage of Unit’s ability to identify sonar returns that are
determined to be a fish.

(Setting Saved in Memory)
Press POWER-MENU until the DEPTH ALARM menu appears.
Select OFF for no Depth Alarm;
select a number from 3-99' to set the alarm depth and activate it.
Audible alarm will sound when the depth is equal to or less than the
setting number.
3.9 Depth Unit

(Setting Saved in Memory)
Press POWER-MENU until the DEPTH UNIT menu appears. Select
either FT or M to set the unit of depth.
3.7 Depth Alarm
3.8 Chart Speed
(Setting Saved in Memory, 1 to 4)
Press POWER-MENU until the CHART SPEED menu appears. Select a
setting from 1-4 to increase or decrease the chart speed, where 1
is the slowest and 4 is the fastest chart speed.
For example,when this kind of symbols/dots come out,
it is possible that is fish, but it is also possible that
is other suspended objects.

3.10 Temperature Unit
(Setting Saved in Memory)
Press POWER-MENU until the TEMP- UNIT menu appears. Select
either °C or °F to set the unit of temperature.
3.11 Low Battery Alarm
We would like to offer you the comments for ultrasonic
based fishfinder display temperament as follows:
The wireless sonar sensor has the function which can detect the
transmitter's power voltage capacity and alarm, when the sensor's
power voltage is lower than 8V, the receiver will alarm with long
continuous sound of "Bi......".

1. Fish finder is to find fish group under water under
Ultrasonic reflections of scanning.
3. This fish finder device is not a CAMERA or video recorder,
which has to capture every and each single fish shape and
numbers under water such as camera effect.
2. It should be able to detect out the fish group in points
definition, such as 2 points(thin lighted points) on display
for small group, 3 - 5 points(mid lighted points) for mid
group of fishes, over 5 points(thick lighted points) as for
many fishes in pointed shapes!
Remarks and Tips

-14-
11, Remove the batteries from the fish finder to prevent
battery leakage and corrosion.
12, As the depth range is from 0.6m-30.4m, the fish finder
would not work properly if the water is too deep or shallow.
Note: Changes maybe made to the information in this
operation guide without obligation to notify any person of
such revisions or changes.
13,The too much weed in the water may cause the incorrect
reflect.
6,Make sure the transducer was dipped into the water
before operating.
9, Never use a blunt to strike the sonar sensor as this may
cause damage to the sensitive internal electronics.
10, Never use the same two FD39 in the same area as this
may cause the product can not work properly due to the
ultrasonic and radio frequency interference.
7,Make sure all plugs was connected tightly before using.
8,Continuous backlight operation significantly decreases
battery life.
4. So if the fish finder can fid and display the ultrasoni
c
reflection based pointed results on the LCD display of
fishfinder then it is tar
g
eted results.
5. but of course, if it can not detect out any fish unde
r
water, but if there are fishes under water, then it is not
q
ualified unit.
